The New Crazy Irrational
“I am about to unfriend you for promoting your work” is the new crazy irrational.
— Jake Bilbrey (@ZicklePop) February 1, 2012Because if I am passionate about something and your first response is to threaten me? As Calamity Jane would say, “be fucked!”
— Jake Bilbrey (@ZicklePop) February 1, 2012For the last couple of weeks I have been working very hard to work on things that might help me get a job doing what I want to do. I am proud of my work. I have, in January alone: set up in a new office, built and shipped Call for Me, redesigned my main site, designed and started a blog about web design, and was supprisingly approached to be interviewed on my friends new podcast.
I take a lot of things jokingly, but not these things. These things show who I am and what I am capable of. I am proud of my work. That is why when people say to me, and I am sure they meant it in no disrespect, that they are going to or about to unfollow me because I mentioned once on Twitter the work I have poured my heart in to, I get mad.
Because this is not a joke. I even have had close friends tell me that they think my jokes on Twitter, Tumblr, and on my podcast suck without reading, understanding, or listening to them. That is painful enough, but those things, which I put no less effort in, are for humor and I can ignore it. When I am working on a serious operation to try to start my life as a young adult? Friend or stranger, I do not care. I have way bigger issues to worry with than what I can do to keep you as a follower. Be fucked.

Original Old Movie Trailers and My Dropped Jaw
The other night Dad and I were watching Deadwood on the Apple TV and I saw that Psycho was featured on the movies section. To my amazement there was an option to watch the trailer. I feared that it was some new ad that the studios made. It was not! It was the original trailer for the movie Psycho. So I started watching the original trailers to other such classics like The Birds, Citizen Kane, and The Big Sleep. I highly recommend going in the iTunes movie store and watching old movie trailers.
“THAT MAN and THAT GIRL are THAT WAY AGAIN” Oh, I love you Bogart and Bacall.

As of a few weeks ago I no longer eat Macaroni and Cheese for breakfast every morning. So I have that going for me.

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]
Today I talk to Jake Bilbrey. We discussed his interesting introduction into the world of Web Design and how that shaped his career. Jake is the creator of the community site Tellgram and the web service Call For Me. You can contact Jake at his website JakeBilbrey.com or at CallFor.Me/Jake.
So earlier this week I was interviewed about how I got started in web design and how I work. It was my first interview and I’m pretty happy with how it turned out.

The Blood and Ice Cream Trilogy is coming to an end, as does the world. I have never been more excited for the end of the world, and really what better movie making team to bring it upon us?

I don’t know if you have checked out Tellgram recently but if you have not you are making a big fucking mistake. Dleeo just posted her finished watercolor of the NRP Sagres III last night and this afternoon Tellgram released an API for developers.

This was an oral hygiene routine of epic proportions. Multiple rinses, marathon brushing, flossing…even a fucking dentist would have thought it was excessive.

Tonight I started reading Farewell, My Lovely after recognizing it in the first episode of Bored to Death. I got side-tracked looking at Raymond Chandler book cover art, but I could never find the cover shown in the series premier of Bored to Death.
